can you believe it £182 that in the last 16 days id have smoked away:eek:

OK so the cravings have been and are still being a bit of a bugger, but £182 saving soon makes me wonder why i've smoked for so many years and how i've afforded to.

According to this app on my phone over the last 16 years of smoking i have spent an average of £60,000 i'd have been half way between saving for an Aston DB9( i wish lol)

oh well ive decided what im going to treat myself with and thats a samsung tab so i can go on the forum when ever i want :D

good luck to all quitters as you can tell from my post it has alot of cost benefits

also

I found the money a great incentive. Don't know how I managed to buy all those fags. £1569 for me :D:D:D

Sian, I based on your figures, I just worked out how much you will save a year. I nearly fell off my donkey !!!

Of course.........now that you will be saving all that money, you could spare a thought for those in need. One particularly worthy cause is the "Biggrin benevolent fund". It's sole purpose is to provide support for Biggrins, who, through no fault of their own and for no particularly good reason, could do with some extra cash. I see on the fund's website that the Biggrins - who can be temperamental creatures, especially when quitting smoking - have to be treated with the utmost care. Apparently they find unexpected and undeserved infusions of cash to be especially soothing. No-one seems to know how they developed such eccentric foibles.

That is a massive incentive Sian especially with Christmas on the way. You will be able to afford lots of lovely extras now:)

Well done Sian,

You're doing great, looks like this may be the one! That's great getting a tablet, I love my IPad. It's horrifying the amount of money we spent on cigs, I think it was Austin that posted 'I've smoked a house' - me too!!!! Makes you think.
